What are the benefits of having infrastructure hosted in AWS? (Choose TWO)

a. Operating applications on behalf of customers

b. There is no need to worry about security

c. Increasing speed and agility

d. Gaining complete control over the physical infrastructure

e. All of the physical security and most of the data/network security are taken care of for you

Correct Answer: C, E

All of the physical security are taken care of for you. Amazon data centers are surrounded by three physical layers of security. “Nothing can go in or out without setting off an alarm”. It’s important to keep bad guys out, but equally important to keep the data in which is why Amazon monitors incoming gear, tracking every disk that enters the facility. And “if it breaks we don’t return the disk for warranty. The only way a disk leaves our data center is when it’s confetti.” 

Most (not all) data and network security are taken care of for you. When we talk about the data/network security, AWS has a “shared responsibility model” where AWS and the customer share the responsibility of securing them. For example, the customer is responsible for creating rules to secure their network traffic using the security groups and is also responsible for protecting data with encryption.

"Increasing speed and agility" is also a correct answer because in a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away, which means it requires less time to make those resources available to developers - from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.

You want to create a backup of your data in another geographical location. Where should you create this backup?

a. In another Local Zone

b. In another Region

c. In another Availability Zone

d. In another Edge location

Correct Answer: B

A Region is a physical location around the world where AWS clusters data centers. AWS calls each group of logical data centers an Availability Zone. Each AWS Region consists of multiple, isolated, and physically separate Availability Zones within a geographic area. Unlike other cloud providers, who often define a region as a single data center, the multiple Availability Zones design of every AWS Region offers advantages for customers. Each Availability Zone has independent power, cooling, and physical security and is connected via redundant, ultra-low-latency networks. AWS customers focused on high availability can design their applications to run in multiple Availability Zones to achieve even greater fault-tolerance.
